I just wanted to compliment you and thank you for your site! I’ve been searching the web for 2 years and your site is the best i’ve found. It includes so many varied options and you actualy use spices!! I’m sure you know there are many sites that direct you to cut out salt but don’t teach you how to use spices to add flavor. I too am a cook at heart and have been diagnosed with meniere’s disease! Unfortunatly, i work full time and have two young children so i never get enough time to experienment! Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to post all that you’ve learned. It gives me inspiration. Keep up the good work!

Hi Marcia! Thanks so much for your sweet comment. I’m so glad you find the site helpful. I know how challenging it can be, living and coping with Meniere’s disease while also raising a family. Strength in numbers, right!! Keep up the great work, YOU TOO!

I am right there with you. I love this site! I have recently been diagnosed with MD as well, and have a 1 and 3 year old at home. Definitely not easy planning meals that take a lot of prep during the week, so any help I can get is a lifesaver!

Hi Christy,
Your site is an amazing find and a lifesaver! I read your story, and like you, I was diagnosed with Meniere’s after many frightful experiences. Thank you for sharing what you went through.
Food is my passion. Giving that up for a bland, low sodium diet was disheartening, to say the least. Your recipes are fabulous! (sing that like a rock star) It’s a joy to cook my way through them.

I just wanted to thank you for posting all these amazing low sodium vegan dishes. My other half can’t have sodium, so making things for her that are tasty and low sodium has been rather difficult. However, these dishes are great!

Hi Christy – I’m on week one of low-salt and just want you to know how helpful these recipes are, as well as the information on low-salt products. I’m planning on heading to Whole Foods for no-sodium bouillon granules (who knew?) if this blizzard ever let’s up! I would be at sea trying to figure out how to adapt my recipes without this website!

And speaking of the sea – I see in your blog you have a prescription for meclizine and wondering if you have ever tried cinnarizine? Cinnarizine is sold under the brand name Sturgeron and is a bit of a secret known only to the sailing community, it seems. When we went on our year-long cruise-adventure the advice I got from live-aboard sailors was to take Sturgeron for sea-sickness. Sturgeron,un-like meclizine based nausea medications, does not make you sleepy or make you feel “out of it”. When I took it I could barely tell it was in my system and was able to carry on in rough seas with no nausea at all. I even gave it to my kids with great success. Only catch is that it is not approved for sale in the US – you have to order on-line from Canada or England.

Enjoy the shoveling and bringing in the wood – I’ll be doing the same!

I seriously cannot thank you enough for this website and for the time you take to help make my life, a stranger, just a little better! I was also diagnosed with this disease and feel like I’ve been hungry for 2 years just trying to stay under by sodium allotment each day. I just got excited about cooking again after stumbling on your site from a pin on Pinterest.
Thank you. Thank you.

Wow. I’m overwhelmed at the enormous number of recipes. I have too many medical issues to get into but appreciate all the effort you are making to help so many people with your blog. I feel like I’ve hit paydirt. (That’s like hitting the jackpot) Thanks. Lisa K

there are a lot of site I have gone to and found they were not low salt so am pleased with the ones of yours I have looked at. I really hope they taste as good as they look. This may become my favorite site since being told I have to go low salt

Hi Christy- thank you for your wonderful website. I was diagnosed with Meniere’s a couple months ago after 8 months of being sick. Doing much better now thanks to low sodium, & your recipes have been a life-saver. My husband & I both love to cook (he’s on board with lowering his salt intake too), so when I found your website I was thrilled. So many adjustments to be made with this disease; it’s reassuring to know we can still make delicious food. Thank you again, & I hope you are doing well! Laura

Hi Laura! I’m so glad you found the site and hope you and your husband are continuing to find it helpful! Also hope you’re feeling much better as the days go on. I’ve been enjoying (NOT) a bout of deafness the past few days and it’s the PITS. You know how that goes, I’m sure. Sigh… Anyway – enough of that! Wishing you all the very best, Christy

I was diagnosed with lymphedema about six months ago and we are constantly looking for low sodium cooking ideas for the foods we love. This site covers everything a person could possibly eat while keeping their conditions under control. Thank you so much for providing this. I sent it on to my family so that they no longer have to worry about running into issues when it comes to keeping everyone fat and happy! -Andrew Bonniwell, spring, Texas

Hi Andrew! So glad you found the site! WELCOME! I really hope it helps w the diet – and that you’re feeling better each day. Wishing you and your family all the very best. Have a great weekend! Christy

Thank you for sharing your hard work. My husband had just been diagnosed with acute kidney failure so sodium and potassium (and phosphorous) are verboten. I was overwhelmed as I really thought we ate healthy, your sharing had given me possibilities for accomplishing the changes needed for him. If I can find your cookbook, its mine.

You’re so welcome, Karen! The transition to low-so (and potassium too!) can be hard, but it’s so worth it. And all of those good days add up.. they really do – so keep up the great work! :)) I’m so glad you found the site and hope it really helps you and your husband. Wishing you both all the very best now- and always. Christy

Thank you so much for this site! It is a great source of inspiration and encouragement for me. I’ve always enjoyed serving my husband great (mostly healthy) meals. But when he was diagnosed with Meniere’s last year things got really difficult and depressing. We’ve gone through some tough spots, but finding your site has been a Godsend! I finally feel like I can give him delicious meal choices again! Our favorites are your beef tacos and guacamole, sloppy joes, and oatmeal peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. Thank you so much!

Aww.. Jennifer that is AWESOME to hear! I am thrilled to know I’ve helped bring happiness back to mealtimes and hope you continue enjoying the site and finding new favorites. YAY!!! Have a great weekend. Wishing you all the very best (and your husband too!) Christy
